No one has a crystal ball that will foretell the future, but local experts may have a pretty good grasp on what to expect from the economy this year. Hear what they have to say at this year’s 39th Annual Economic Roundtable.
The free in-person and virtual event takes place from 8 to 10 a.m. on Jan. 18 at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego. The roundtable is put on by the County of San Diego, USD Knauss School of Business and the San Diego Workforce Partnership.
If you plan to attend in person, you can be among the first to RSVP. You’ll find directions on how to get to the event and parking information.
If you plan to watch virtually, a livestream link will be available a few days before the event.
Keynote presenters will give an update on the national economy before a roundtable panel discusses the local economy and regional cooperation for housing, childcare and business issues.
